Artcrank poster by Jaime Anderson (The Minnesota Star Tribune)
Artcrank Saturday: Bikes, beers, food trucks and affordable art. What's not to like? Once again, 50 local artists will show and sell their bike-themed posters in a one-night celebration of creativity fueled by Fulton beer. Launched in a Minneapolis bike shop in 2007, Artcrank soon spawned international enthusiasm for bike art. In the past nine years, more than 3,000 original posters have been sold at like-minded events in New York, London, Paris and throughout the United States. The hometown shindig always draws the largest crowds, numbering more than 6,000 in each of the past three years. More than 300 Twin Cities-based artists have created hand-printed posters for Artcrank in the past, among them Jaime Anderson, whose new poster is shown here. All sell for $40. (4-10 p.m. Sat., Fulton Brewery, 2540 NE. 2nd St., Mpls. Free valet bike parking. artcrank.com/minneapolis) Mary Abbe
